Will The Linus Team Create Ultimate Benchmark Chart?

[Drchamp0309]

I find most benchmarks frustrating. A lot of the time there's no benchmarks for an item... or there is but can't find the item.  The ability to sort the chart by price, score, speed, bytes, score/$, ect... is very important. As well as having all 8 Internal components having their own tier charts. I think this is massively needed in the community, especially for newer enthusiasts. Especially if it has hundreds for each chart. And honestly I would trust LLT more than any another website. I hope this comes to pass. Thanks!

Check out techpowerup, gamers nexus and hardware unboxed. Has most info in their reviews

Why exactly? LTT is not a review channel, its a tech advertising and quick look/trying to sell you a product rather then an in depth review.

 

There are other sites with just that information, usually they specialize on one or a few. Tech power up and a few other sites.

 

What exactly do you feel would work? There is already a PSU tier list, GPU charts are pretty easy to find reliable reviewers, Ram isnt really done all that much outside of a few niches, Storage is Techsters and a few others but otherwise pretty simple. CPU reviews same sites as GPU. Cases are much more involved as well as coolers, so GamersNexus and a few others do those well.

I've found Techpowerup GPU and CPU reviews to be the most informative and they have good comparisons, absolute value, relative value, Price/Performance


This one GPU review is pretty representative of the data they generally make for other GPUs. It even compares in 1080p,1440p,and 4K on Absolute, Min, and Relative performance, perfect for what I use it for. 

My biggest complaint is that they only go 1-2 geerations back when they comare something new generally, so you won't find a 5090 compared to a 2080 Ti, you need to manually figure that out. I guess you could also have problems with their game selection, but I think it's fine.

LMG is trying to get something like that done with Labs. Linus and Luke were recently talking about challenges of price/performance in charts or combinations during WAN. It won't ever be ultimate anything. Just the amount of variations, models and brands is too wide. They can do what others are doing, provide most common things available in their region and try to match functionaity to what can bring most consumers most value.

 

What you can do now is what I have been doing for years. Make your own charts. Use performance results these reviewer are getting, or benchmarking databases. Then look up your local pricing and with some basics spreadsheets skills and math, you have custom chart. You can even do your own emphasis. Like is multicore performance more important than single-core. Or what games are most important.

I don't see this kind of a chart ever being practical. Here's an LTT Labs comparison between a 5080 and 3080-TI. And here's one comparing two mice. And here's one comparing to PSUs.

 

Each of these comparison charts is a lot of effort in deciding what tests to run, how best to compare them, and how best to visualize those comparisons. To get an idea of what kind of questions need to be answered here, you can take a look at the possible visualizations in Grafana, a popular log monitoring tool. 

 

What you're asking for is an absolutely massive amount of effort, will likely result in very tiny amounts of revenue.  LTT Labs only exists because LTT has enough money that they can afford to basically just treat it as an expense. Because really, who cares about detailed technical details for a bluetooth mouse shaped like a handgun? Functionally nobody, but in case you do LTT labs will let you compare its performance to lightweight wired mice, as weird a cross shop as that may be.
